6.3 Heating System Connection

The heating system connections on the heat pump have a 1" ex-
ternal thread. Use a spanner to firmly grip the transitions when
connecting the heat pump.
Before connecting the heating water system to the heat pump,
the heating system must be flushed to remove any impurities,
residue from sealants, etc. Any accumulation of deposits in the
liquifier could cause the heat pump to completely break down.
For systems in which the heating water flow can be shut off via
the radiator or thermostat valves, an overflow valve must be in-
stalled in a heating bypass behind the heat pump by the cus-
tomer. This ensures a minimum heating water flow rate through
the heat pump and helps to avoid faults.
Once the heating system has been installed, it must be filled, de-
aerated and pressure-tested.
Minimum heating water flow rate
The minimum heating water flow rate through the heat pump
must be assured in all operating states of the heating system.
This can be accomplished, for example, by installing either a
manifold without differential pressure or an overflow valve. The
procedure for adjusting an overflow valve is described in the
Chapter Start-Up.

Antifreeze (frost protection)
A method of manual drainage (see illustration) should be pro-
vided for heat pumps which are exposed to frost. The antifreeze
function of the heat pump controller is active whenever the con-
troller and the heat circulating pump are ready for operation. If
the heat pump is taken out of service or in the event of a power
failure, the system has to be drained. The heating circuit should
be operated with a suitable antifreeze if heat pump systems are
implemented in buildings where a power failure can not be de-
tected (holiday home).

6.4 Electrical Connection

It is not necessary to open the device to establish the electrical
connection.
The heat pump is connected to the power supply using the ap-
prox. 5 m long preinstalled mains cable. The preinstalled, 7-m
long control line is connected to the heat pump controller using
its plug connector. The heat pump controller is a mandatory part
of the control system.
A disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm (e.g.
utility blocking contactor or power contactor) as well as a 1-pole
circuit breaker must be installed in the power supply of the heat
pump by the customer (tripping current in compliance with the
Device Information).
The control voltage is supplied via the heat pump controller.
The heat pump controller has a 230 V AC-50 Hz power supply.
Connect the controller in compliance with its own operating in-
structions (16 A fuse).
The control line is connected to the heat pump controller using a
multipole plug connector. More detailed information can be found
in the operating instructions of the heat pump controller.
See Appendix Circuit Diagrams for detailed information.
